Greetings everyone, it is time again for the Mascot Pokémon Showdown! The winner of the last showdown was Rayquaza with a whooping 54%!
With this latest round we’ve finally arrived in Sinnoh. Introducing us to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Generation IV released in 2006 in Japan and to the rest of the world in 2007. Whatever your opinions of this generation, these games shook up the series and came with a lot of new features, like the physical-special split, gender differences and the Underground.
Pokémon Diamond Version
On the cover of Pokémon Diamond is Dialga, the Temporal Pokémon. A big, blue, dinosaur-like creature with lots of metal on its body, it perfectly fits its Dragon/Steel typing. Using the diamond in the center of its chest plate, Dialga has complete control over time – it can speed it up, slow it down or stop it altogether. It lives in a completely different dimension, which is why people don’t get to study it.
Dialga is the only known Pokémon that can learn Roar of Time. No Pokémon has the same type combination and it’s the tallest Pokémon introduced in this generation. Its name may derive from ‘diamond‘, ‘dial‘ and ‘dragon‘.
Pokémon Pearl Version
Palkia, the Spatial Pokémon, was featured on Pokémon Pearl’s cover. A lilac theropod-shaped Pokémon with pearls in its shoulder plates, Palkia is said to deform space and it can even create alternate realities. Like Dialga, it lives in a different dimension.
There is no other known Pokémon other than Palkia that knows Spacial Rend. Its name probably comes from ‘pāru’, meaning pearl in Japanese.
Pokémon Platinum Version
Pokémon Platinum featured Giratina, the Renegade Pokémon. With its two forms, the Altered Form and the Origin Form, it is the last member of the creation trio of Sinnoh. Giratina is able to travel through the dimensions created by Dialga and Palkia. It resides in its own world, called the Distortion World.
Giratina‘s signature move is a Ghost-type move called Shadow Force. It has the highest base stat total of all Ghost-type Pokémon and the highest HP stat of all Legendary and Dragon Pokémon. Its name comes from ‘girasol‘ (‘a red opal’), ‘guillotine‘ or ‘girare‘ (Italian for ‘to wander around’) and ‘purachina‘ (プラチナ, Japanese for ‘platinum’).

Gotta be my boy Dialga.
Dragon/Steel
Complete control over time itself…
Looks absolutely amazing
Did I mention Dragon/Steel. If only Kommo-o got that typing.
If only it had a better ability and signature move. Really got shafted compared to Palkias Spacial Rend
Giratina forever once of the coolest Legendaries
Giratina, because I don’t know, why not?
I vote for Giratina, it has the coolest typing and design.
lol i love how collectively everyone doesn’t like Palkia.
Did anybody else have those special Diamond and Pearl DS styluses from pre-ordering the games at Target? The ones that had Dialga and Palkia as toppers? Because those were one of the coolest pre-order bonuses I ever got my hands on, but I lost them somewhere, somehow. 🙁
Lol… I was going to say the same. Palkia.. who?
And yes I got it… I remember being embarrassed picking it up..
But enjoyed it when I got home ?
No but I do have a stylus with a turtwig on the end of it.
Not really relevant but still.
I have ones with Zekrom and Reshiram
I gave my turtwig a “haircut” when I was 8 by chewing off its twig lol.
Damn. No love for Palkia. :/ I personally prefered it over Dialga. But hands down Giratina is my favorite of the trio. My thoughts are. Fuck time. Control over space means i can MAKE WORMHOLES! Well perhaps not that but i personally see the benefits of Both. Not as keen on Dialga cus… Butt crown and Pope hat head? They just looked like… weird Design Choices to me… To me… Palkia looks like a Sleek Dragon that you could SEE moving through the Water. I’ll admit its shoulder pad things look wonkey as hell but I like the rest of it.
I like Palkia but I love Dialga more
I have the dialga one! But I haven’t seen it in a while :/ I’m not sure if I lost it or have simply stored it with my figures, but I’m pretty sure it’s the latter. Hope you find yours!
I still have mine! I still use it from time to time but it sits in my pencil jar on my desk!
So… Giratina is only special because it can travel to places it didn’t even create? :/

the only answer
Love Palkia. Awesome cry, awesome appearance, and it gets Spacial Rend.
Giratina is my favorite legend so of course im voting for it.
Did anyone REALLY think the Ghost Dragon wasn’t going to win, I mean, I went to my mom who knows NOTHING about Pokemon and when I said “Time Dragon, Space Dragon, and Ghost Dragon” she went, “Ooooooo Ghost Dragon!”
See what I mean, you can’t beat something that sounds cool like “Ghost Dragon”
That’s a unique typing right? We should get another one IMO.
Well if there ever happens to be a Dragon-Fairy or a Dragon-Ice I’m sure they’ll also get popularity.
M-Altaria and Kyurem would like a word.
Sure he meant to say “good” versions 😉
Mega Altaria was great. Last I checked it was OU…
Tell them to fall off a cliff!
Dragon-fairy
Dragon-steel
Dragon-ghost
Dragon-ice
Dragon-psychic
Dragon-bug
Dragon-rock
Dragon-grass
All need to happen ASAP!!!! Even if we already have one, we need moaaaaar!!!

I thought that gender differences showed up in gen 2?
Genders did, not gender differences, like Lipstick mouthed female Wobuffet.
Hands down the Pokemon of Gravity is my Bae~ Gotta love Giratina. And no. Giratina is not Dark matter.
Technically it represents anti-matter
Thank you for pointing out my mistake of saying Dark Matter instead of Anti-matter.
While
that was what Cynthia said in the Game. it has been Postulated that she
doesn’t know everything about the Legendary Trio. Also if Giratina DID
actually Represent Anti-matter. The Distortion would would have exploded
when the character entered, and Giratina would have destroyed the
pokemon world when coming into contact with the air around it in the
Anime. In the Distortion world All the land masses seem to have their
own Gravity, even the Water. And yes i got this from a youtube video on
the subject and Frankly… It all makes more sense that Giratina would
be the pokemon of Gravity as opposed to Anti-matter. If Anti-matter had a
Quality known for warping Time and Space like Gravity does rather then
making Matter it comes in contact with Cease to be in a SPECTACULARLY
Destructive show of force… Then i would consider Giratina the pokemon
of Anti-matter. But as it stands it seems more likely to me that
Giratina is the pokemon of Gravity. That is my own personal theory based on evidence provided by said youtube video. Its up to you to think what you want.
Where are all mah homies at
I just hit up the NYC Nintendo Superstore
Dialga is the best in my opinion, and shiny Dialga looks really awesome.
Yet Palkia’s shiny is also pretty cool.
Its probably pretty obvious that my vote goes to Dialga given my love for steel, but honestly what clenches it for me is the fact that it was the only one of the three that ever acted friendly towards Ash in the Anime Movies. Like the other two probably tolerated Ash or ignored him, but Dialga actively knew that Ash was his side, which I always thought was kinda cool.
Who wants Gen 4 remake in 2017, anyone?
I think most of us are just expecting it at this point.
I think it would be awesome. What I really want are to have the Gen 4 starters to have something like mega evolution, if not a mega evolution, specifically because I think Turtwig is cool yet Torterra is ugly(in my opinion of course).
Hi have a disturbing feeling that they’ll only get exclusive Z-move
I wonder if there will even be z-moves in games after Pokemon Sun and Moon. I don’t know. It has a very tropical feel(I don’t think that’s the right way to put it) and that makes me think that it might be an lolan region only thing. Yet if Cynthia is the Alola region she might bring the whole idea over to Sinnoh. Who knows?
We might see Z-moves in Gen 4 remakes, since megas are not a thing anymore, and i don’t know if megas will return in Gen 4 remake
I wouldn’t be so bold to say megas are no longer a thing. The Dev’s have openly said that they benched megas this game to focus on Z-moves, but were more then open to bring them back in the future, as well as hinting that they did have Mega Flygon in the works.
FLYBOI!
Lord I just want a fire/psychic mega infernape. All of its physical power gets transferred to its mind and it becomes a mental powerhouse
Give the gem 4 starters mega evolutions in the remakes please GF, it’s only fair. Plus they need to breathe more life into Megan’s since they kinda abandoned the whole thing this time around
Yes!!
Make that 2018 and you got a deal.
Definitely want that, hopefully for the 3DS.
I can’t decide if I want it in 2017 or 2018 but I REALLY REALLY FUCKING WANT IT!!!
FINALLY GOT MY SHINY MIMEY
Good Luck 🙂
ty. probly goin back to egg hatchin for ponyta
Sense as of now Giratina has won 54% of the votes and Rayquaza won with 54% of the votes, who do you think is the better legendary? Rayquaza or Giratina.
articuno. too bad it’s shiny isn’t better. but playing by the rules I’d say the latter but only cuz I’m partial to ghosts
Dialga should win Giratina is nothing in comparison
Despite what people think about design, Giratina is probably the best of the trio competitivly…
Giratina is really cool in that it is a stop to Extreme Speed Arceus. Also one of the few Pokemon to get Defog in Ubers. However Gen 6 was not kind to it as both Xerneas and Yveltal beat it easily.
Dialga has the advantage of have an amazing defensive typing (Steel makes it neutral to Ice, Dragon and Fairy), with crazy attack potential. Also gets Rocks.
Palkia is in my opinion the weakest. It’s main use was to counter Kyogre before Kyogre got the biggest nerf ever called Primal Groudon.
Dialga it’s the best
I agree
agreed 🙂
Wait, wait…Pokemon with abilities like storm drain or water absorb are immune to Primarina water perish song…This means they could make an interesting combo.
Has it been proven they are immune?
Ghost types are not immune to the Normal Perish Song.
What’s the point of sound moves being water if there’s no water in them? So it’s like Primarina sounds becomes like bubbles and Pokemon with storm drain and water absorb can absorb them.
There is no point. it’s a terrible ability.
Like Magician on Delphox
Actually, it’s pretty good. You can make a tema with a water absorber, so you don’t have to swith it.
Lusamine woah
(i actually did this one not that steven universe one from yesterday0

SUTA PURACHINA!
Wow Giratina is leading with a 54% right now, that stinks!
Get lost, Giratina is awesome!
I hope there’s some Pokemon college so despite it having no popularity whatsoever, Palkia wins! (reference to a recent event which makes no sense either)
Pyuku mourning train?
